I know, that is the other famous hack, Barbara Boxer, but really no difference at all. Both of them, as well most other members of Congress, feel their title, and years in it, carries some level of esteem. Contrary to their belief, this is not the case. It has become a status of self-indulgence and who can be fore-front the longest. Nothing can be learned since it is already known, especially when it comes from someone junior in status and more intelligent. If you haven’t read it or seen it, you can do so here.

Here’s what I got out of this dialogue. Politician Feinstein’s 5th grade was three of the best years of her life, she’s not a lawyer, she likes putting her fingers into bullet holes of people’s bodies (must be a California thing) and that she has learned, embraced and believes in the U.S. Constitution. Yet when is giving like scenarios of other amendments, she feels those are violations that should not happen. Only with the 2nd Amendment are violations allowed to happen because the 2nd Amendment doesn’t count when you are on a personal, ideological crusade. This also means that she will lie through her teeth when those pesky other amendments get into her way on her next crusade. Remember, as a member of the Intelligence Committee, she knuckled-under the pressure of the Executive Branch when she finger-pointed leaks coming from the White House, and then nothing. Seems she is on the wrong committee (intelligence) since this is a far reaching concept for her. Her oathe to “uphold the Constitution” was nothing more than part of the procedure to obtain and hold office; like saying gesundheit after someone sneezes–reflex habit. Most politicians seem to have this same malady when it comes to the Constitution and its enforcement.

Feinstein’s “assault weapons” bill (partisan), as well Schumer’s (one republican in support) have passed out of committee and are headed to the Senate floor. No matter how “well meaning” these people think these bills are, the “feel good” bills will only continue to erode our freedoms (as well being un-constitutional as Feinstein grudgingly admitted) as a people with the power. If we can only wait till election to rectify these mis-placed acts, we will always be backing up. We need some “no confidence” votes on the state level to start weeding out the trash. I can think of quite a few here in Virginia that need to go since they are not representing the people but rather a party agenda. Still, nothing will be done in this regard because, while there may be anger and bitterness amongst the citizens, apathy has always ruled the day. For most people, your hands should be very warm because of all the time spent sitting on them.

On this gun bill: Feinstien’s husband was in on the deal with Islamics to purchase from Al Gore his radio station, how much influence was put towards Feinstein to go for gun control?

Obama and UN: global gun control almost a done deal.

Have you figured out the Islamist, Washington DC,Obama Administration pkg to screw our nation by stripping the defenses under the guise of safety for all?

Since they’ve already played-out using kids a props, when the legislation gets to the Senate floor, do you think they’ll use kittens?

Nah, they’ll hang bazookas, stinger missles, tanks, F-16′s, .50 cal anti-aircraft, flame throwers and a giant size picture of Rambo on the wall behind them. That would scare granny right out of her support hose!

I see a huge difference between Feinstein and Boxer in the “Don’t call me Ma’am” context. Boxer’s outburst was at a military officer who extended her the respect that he would extend to a female superior officer (as I recall, the incident involved one of our Generals, so the sign of deference was particularly significant). Instead of receiving that respect and reciprocating it, Boxer upbraided the officer for his use of the term, “Ma’am”. It was crude, ignorant, petulant behavior on her part. I cannot imagine Feinstein behaving that way in the presence of a high-ranking military officer.

I honestly hope that Dear Leader isn’t that stupid. But, I think that the only thing he has on his agenda is getting rid of the guns. It’s that last item on the fascist checklist.
American superiority isn’t dead, and his whole agenda is in danger as long as there are armed citizens who will stand their ground.
What I cannot understand is how some little jackass like you thinks they won’t do EXACTLY the same thing to you, even after you carried their water. They won’t think twice about shipping your ass off to hard labor. Bet you think your “science” will put you in an upper and more superior position. These jackasses do not have a use for science. They make it up as they go along….and you SUCK at that….

An insurrection would help the price of BPM’s silver horde. He reported here how smart he was to sell stock and buy silver when he feared Obama would win a second term. Gold and silver are easy to transport out of the country and BPM had plans to skedaddle with his American-made wealth.

Alas, the price of silver peaked at $50 about then and has since fallen to $30. 40% negative return in 6 months really sucks. Meanwhile the stock market continues an upward climb; the S&P 500 rose about 10% since the election. Good illustration of buy high and sell low and the risk of putting your financial eggs into one basket.

Ed. you just proved how utterly you are defeated, before you even tried to make a point. Every dollar that was used to match those pre 1980 levels is worth a mere .48 cents.
Oh, the volume of trading is there….but the price per share is worth less than half of it’s 2008 posting. You clearly are an idiot in fiscal matters (but you’ve proven that time and time again right here)
As for my silver, it is but a mere percentage of my bi-metal holdings. The majority is in gold.
And I will not depart from the States until there aren’t any free states left. A little reading comprehension will go along way.
But, rest assurred, while the turds like you are digging thru the dirt for your next meal, I’ll be dining on freshly grown meats and vegetables that I GUARANTEE are not going to find their way into the hands of those who laughed the hardest right now.

When you guys twist the saga of “preppers”, I wonder how you excuse your own government. I mean, they’ve built their own bunkers, they’ve squirreled away all kinds of ammo and weapons, and then they bought mine resistant trucks to patrol in. If I’m nuts, did you just give an excuse to the government for doing the exact same thing?

Oh….silver is short range and has numerous uses in technological gadget releases.Therefore it is a commodity and rises and falls with supply and demand. I’ve tried to explain S&D to liberals before…and they’re oblivious– so I won’t waste my time now, either.

Gold prices are being purposely held down, also. This halts a run on Gold instead of the traded business market. I’m fine with that, because it helps me secure more without the meddling S&D immitators.
Insurrection won’t be the cause….$$$22 TRILLION in debt will.

Your grand master fap was destined to fail the minute you didn’t have all of the facts, Ed. I bought a great deal of my balances of Gold and Silver thru the years.
Back in October of 2001, I purchased my first lot of silver for $4.60 a troy ounce. What did you say that was worth this week?
I began buying gold back in 2002, and I had to look at my documentation to assure how much I put out. Found it. I purchased Gold at $260 a troy ounce. What are those ounces worth today??

Written by BlackOut about 5 years ago.

How bizarre. Who brags so specifically about how and at what quantities they buy and sell gold and silver? Truly unusual especially on a friggin blog.

Oh and you’ll find strong competition on who is laughing the hardest at your prepper paranoia.

Ed thought he had a point. Anyone who does multiplication can tell he’s dead wrong. And you’re laughing at the federal government, too? Or is that one-way outrage thing using the double standard again?
Your infantile reasoning amuses me.

Awaked from your nappy, I see. Silver is becoming scarce for the tech trade and I am still waiting for my 2012 Kennedy silvers to be minted. Looks like the mint may drop that aspect of the series or maybe, possibly, the series all together. Back when I bought bars of it, some dealers wouldn’t handle certain metal minters. I believe that has all gone by the wayside. I see a new explosion on the horizon for silver mining. I’m just waiting for copper to go up over $4 so I can dump this ton and a half I have on hand. Papa needs health insurance and grandbabies need dancing shoes.

ACT…great minds think alike. I have rounded up copper in tons, as well. It’s a short planning metal. When it’s up, it’s up, and when it’s down, it’s down. You take advantage of it on a super short cycle. These boys are lost on the significance of PRECIOUS metals….and skipped right over that whole thing about silver being used in production of so much of our technology.

One has to wonder if these were the same idiots who dumped Cisco stock during the dotcom crash….despite the fact that they were THE backbone of the internet even back then.

Is it the grasshopper or the ant that made major portfolio changes based on the results of the last presidential election?

I made those changes and emptied bank accounts about 6 months before Cypress was taking a vote on actually raiding the bank accounts of THEIR citizens in order to have something to put into the “equal” grinder.
Sorry, but I worked for it, so I’m keeping it.
It stands to reason that folks who think they’re standing in line to benefit from my labor all these years are a little “butt-hurt” about that action.

Well, there has been quite a debate over the past two years about gold vs equities. Buffett and Gates don’t like gold for a variety of reasons, preferring investment in “productive companies.” Many agree and many disagree, with the latter often saying that Buffett has missed the boat with his almost total disdain for gold.

Meh. To each his own. But the last thing I think anyone should be doing on a blog like this is ragging on or hammering at someone else’s portfolio decisions. None of their damn business in my book.

I worked the market back in the day, Wolve. Made quite a bit on riskier ventures with higher payouts, too…risk/reward ratios are a beautiful thing if you understand the games and understand human nature.
I look at the world in layers…almost like an exploded view of an engine. Once you can analyze and predict patterns, the world is your oyster…
